it Reflections Oh! Liberty Halls, where there's now no returning, Oh! place where, as young folks, we acted so queerg Yet deep in our hearts everlasting is burning A flame of sweet memory for school so dear. XVe're now in a mansion we,ve wished for so long, But things are not perfect-though nothing seems wrong. All in our new palace we seem such a few That our thoughts often wander, as thoughts some- times do. Back to the woodshed they'll rise,on their wings, Then through the old halls in our fancy there rings The sweet voice of the girls as they always were talking, The sound of thc boys through the halls noisily stalking. We see the old cobweb which we used to abhor, And the dust on the walls which we now can adoreg An ink-well turned over, its contents all spilled, But what did that matter? it soon could be filledg A Window-pane broken to let in the air- Oh! give us back pleasures we once enjoyed there. While our mansion is grand, there is not the collec- tion Of joys we can find in our sweet retrospection. Our studies were pleasures in those days we passed oler, And with joy we now study as in life we seek more. But our new school is a treasure all are admiring With voices and actions and grace never tiringg Yet wherever we wander, wherever we rove, The halls of old Liberty,' forever we'1l love. -J. M. B.

LIBERTY UNION HIGH SCHOOL. ERECTED 1908. '1 To Our School April the sixth, nineteen eight, Oh, great day! thou hast no mate. Tis not into a dream we've rushed, Old faults forever are crushed. See for yourself if were not blest, As in this palace We now rest, Far from that dear old Woodshed In newness and beauty our life is led. Here's to the school that We attend, Let our praises the heavens rend, As them with joy We loudly cry, Drink then, all, to the Liberty High. Here's to the teachers, our dearest friends Who Work from morning till the day ends Giving the best that in them lies, Drink to our faculty, whom we prize. Here's to the trustees and their work, May blessings in their pathways lurk, For our comforts they always serveg Drink, then, to those who deserve.
